What think beyond ag does

think beyond ag is an independent Swiss consulting firm founded in 2007 and headquartered in Bellmund, Switzerland, with a secondary office in Bern. The company provides holistic consulting services at the interface of business, IT, and organisation, with a core focus on Swiss public administration, social insurance institutions (AHV/IV), critical infrastructure, and ERP/SAP programmes. Its service portfolio spans programme and project management, ICT and enterprise consulting, application realization/integration/operations, and interim management, delivered by a senior partner-led team. The firm also markets two productized software solutions: Swiss QualiQuest (a quality-management survey and evaluation platform) and myClaims (absence and property-damage case management), both developed on its proprietary 'think beyond Framework' built on open standards (Spring, Camel, Apache, Oracle).

The firm's go-to-market is enterprise field sales: clients (predominantly Swiss federal agencies, cantonal administrations, and government-owned enterprises such as SBB, BLS, Swiss Post, PostFinance, SRG SSR, Canton of Zurich, and University Hospital Basel) engage through direct contact with the four partners (Roman Barnert, Robert Engel, Fred Maurer, Fabian Brogna). Revenue is generated primarily through billable consulting engagements on a project or mandate basis; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company is privately held and founder-owned, with no external investors identified in the source material. Marketing is modest and concentrated on the corporate website, LinkedIn presence, and Google AdWords. Headcount is ambiguous (firmographics flag '1-10' while ~20 named senior consultants appear on the team page), and no revenue, funding, or valuation figures are publicly available.
